He is the only director, besides the legendary
Guru Dutt, who created
his films in total isolation from the public. In fact, two of Dutt's films -
Paper Flowers (1959) and
Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) - are Bhansali's favourite movies. His wish is to remake either
or both of these movies at some point in his career, as well as to make
a biopic on Guru Dutt's life.
